10:01 am
mexico's president have offered retaliatory tariffs against the u.s. this after president trump followed through on his right to slap 25% tariffs on both countries fighting the amount of fentanyl pouring over the southern and northern borders. welcome to fox news lives. i am griff jenkins. we have much more ahead on this. learning new details about the victims killed and friday nights plane crash in philadelphia. cb cotton is live in philadelphia with the very latest. hi cb. >> hi, griff. what causes medical jet to come crashing down after being in the air for less than one minute. seven fatalities to include that young girl and her mother. that girl had been receiving treatment here in the city. we also got an update today from the mayor who said she has now learned at least 22 people were injured from this crash. that includes three people who are still hospitalized in critical condition.
10:02 am
we also learned this immediate area that has been closed off is going to reopen tomorrow. we also note the debris field is much wider than this immediate area. the crash site actually impacted in area spanning four-six box with some debris even found in more remote places. the impacts are just so far-reaching. the ntsb says right now they are classified the crash as an accident. they still need to find the jets black box and if anyone finds debris they are asking you to contact the agency. any piece of evidence could lead to answers. sean duffy told cnn just this morning he does not think the agency will know more until the black box is located. until then he has tried to reassure americans, hey, it is safe to fly. >> we have the safest skies in the whole world. traveling by air is the safest mode of transportation. if it was not safe, if there was
10:03 am
an issue that could not keep the system and the people safe in it , the faa would shut it down. >> those reassurances will be so necessary because, griff, in addition to the two aviation tragedies in the northeast this week, we are learning from our fox affiliate in houston, a united flight had to be evacuated today after that aircraft's wing caught fire. a lot of americans are probably feeling a lot of anxiety right now. i can tell you it looks like the cleanup effort is still getting underway. people in this city are very hopeful that wives will get back to normal. while they also remember the lives lost in this tragedy. back to you. >> live for us in philadelphia, thank you. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is visiting washington this week. trumps first in-person meeting with a foreign leader.
10:04 am
they says report citing israeli officials say negotiations on the future of gaza will not start tomorrow as planned. chief foreign correspondent trey gangsta is live in tel aviv with more. hey, try. >> meeting this week with president trump at the white house marking the first foreign leader visit of the new administration. reports indicate that israelis and americans will enter into detailed discussions about phase two of the cease-fire an agreement releasing more hostages yesterday. >> this meeting will deal with important issues, critical issues facing israel and our region. the release of all of our hostages. dealing with the iranian terror access and all its components. threatening the peace of israel,
10:05 am
the middle east and the entire world. >> while more hostages are expected to be released from gaza, the concept of victory over hamas remains elusive. despite 16 months of war they still maintain significant control over the gaza strip. palestinian civilians, medical evacuations have started into egypt. many critical patients injured during the war are now headed to get much needed medical attention abroad. between 12 and 14,000 critical patients need to be medevac outside of gaza. >> this is just a start. we have to speed up the pace. what we need is medical core doors now outside of gaza to ensure that those 12-14,000 who need the treatment that they get out.
10:06 am
>> looking forward, we do expect these evacuations to continue. israel is still preventing international reporters from entering gaza to report on the reality of the situation there. >> just a quick follow-up as we await for the meeting between netanyahu and trump on tuesday, it appears that israel's negotiation team, essentially just will not send them until after he meets with trump did is that how you understand things in israel as well? >> so we spoke with sources in the region earlier today that indicated low-level conversations will take place. trying to move the ball forward understanding that at the very top of the political level, this is a decision made by the israeli prime minister. whether or not they adhere to phase two of the agreement and move forward with implementation that meeting washington will be a critical meeting.
10:07 am
they will hammer out what this agreement will look like moving forward. what sort of ideas there are to get the remaining hostages out of gaza exchange for palestinian prisoners and then ultimately start planning for the rebuilding of the gaza strip. the israeli prime minister faces immense domestic clinical pressure including from his current cabinet and his former national security minister. people after i do leave the government collapsing this coalition if israel does not go back to war against hamas. >> great insight as always. live for us in tel aviv. thank you. ♪ for more netanyahu upcoming visit and how long it will take to rebuild gaza, former ambassador to the u.s. michael lauren joining us now. thank you for taking time today. you heard trey's report there. what do you make of just how
10:08 am
high the stakes are with this trump netanyahu meeting on tuesday. >> states cannot get much higher than they are. i think trey put his finger on it. if you go to the second phase of this cease-fire, israel may get back a number of hostages. not giving back all of the hostages, keeping a few hostages for "a rainy day" and say we do not know where the hostages are. let's say they can get back most of them dead and alive, and return taking over the gaza strip again. it is a no-win proposition from the state of israel. for the majority of israelis now , they would prefer the government actually agrees to the second phase of the cease-fire. give the army arrest. tile up the ammunition and wait for hamas to break the cease-fire because they always break the cease-fire. they broke on october 7, 2023. then we go in full force and we
10:09 am
get the hostages back. in the government, though, right wing factions in the government. if the fighting does not resume at the end of the first phase, they will both the government and we will have a government crisis. many many chaotic things will then transpire. i think it is important to point out that meeting between the president and prime minister will deal with far more than just gaza. part of a piece of puzzle that includes lebanon, the saudi, israel peace treaty and above all the prime minister says iran , iran, iran. can there be a cooperation in meeting the iranian threat and illuminating the iranian nuclear threat. >> michael, you are really hitting a lot of important points. as we look to this meeting on tuesday, netanyahu's position,
10:10 am
he vowed to the destruction of hamas. essentially saying we would like for the war to end, but we would like to stay in power. how could possibly a view be taken that the work i did with hamas in power at all. >> if you say, okay, we will resume the fighting, these hostages will not be released. very emotional pictures of hostages being reunited with their families will not recur. dozens and dozens of families in israel that will not have that experience. it is exquisitely painful. it goes to the dna because we care so much about the lives of all of our citizens. my own kids will say we rather say we lost the war but the important thing is we get the hostages back because if not we will not be able to send our own kids to the army. it is that deep.
10:11 am
it is very, very deep. a way out of this could be an agreement on iran. iran is the source of all of this instability, all of this violence. until iran is dealt with and dealt with in a very effective way, violence will not stop. >> such an important point. yesterday i interviewed pompeo who talked about the fear of war , hostages, to your point. listen here. >> we will have more hostages if we cannot get has a lot to be completely destroyed by the lebanese armed forces and a lot of the lebanese people that are still not living in their homes, still cannot go back to the northern part of israel, we have to give them the capacity to do that. i am sure they are hard to adapt president trump as his counterparty divided not president biden. >> he is absolutely right. israelis will not go back to the south either. the size of new jersey. take off the southern part, the northern part, you are left with virtually nothing.
10:12 am
israel will have to secure it borders. deal with blows to hezbollah and hamas that will ensure that they could never again attacked these populations. you can do this kinetically, militarily, directly against these organizations, but at the end of the day you have to hit the sponsor. whatever metaphor you want to use. there is no way around it. we will be back to october 6, 2023 very quickly. >> all roads lead back to iran. thank you for your time. canada and mexico now bowing retaliatory tariffs on u.s. goods this after president trump followed through with his threat to impose stiff tariffs on saturday. lucas is live in west palm beach florida with the latest reaction hey, lucas. >> good afternoon, griff. tariffs set to begin on tuesday.
10:13 am
25% tariffs on canada mexico. 10% on china. lower 10% tariff on canadian oil president trump stating his reasons in the post on true social earlier today. we pay hundreds of billions of dollars to subsidize canada. why? there is no reason. we have unlimited energy. should make our own cars and have more lumber than we could ever use. without this massive subsidy canada ceases to exist as a viable country, harsh, but true. they should be our cherished 51st day. much lower taxes and far better military protection for the people of canada know tariffs. here is vice president jd vance this morning on "sunday morning futures." >> unfortunately, the retaliation has already started. the problem with this idea that they will retaliate is they have already been taking advantage of america for decades. the retaliation is donald trump
10:14 am
saying no more. we will not be taken advantage of anymore. >> chuck schumer the senate top democrat posting on x you are watching the super bowl next week, waited till trump's tariffs raise your pizza prices. supplying 60% of the crude oil the u.s. imports. wanting to produce more oil domestically. there could be an immediate jump in u.s. gas prices anywhere from 30-$0.70 a gallon. patrick says the impacts will initially be felt in the great lakes, midwest, rockies and the northeast united states in the days ahead. here's canada's ambassador earlier. >> i think the canadian people will expect that our government stands firm and stands up for itself. >> last night canadian prime minister justin trudeau said this as well.

10:19 am
the democratic party named their new chairman to lead the dnc as they try to recover from the 2024 election loss. madeleine is live with the latest. >> good afternoon. 400 voting members of the dnc chose ken martin to be the new chair. he has promising a new chapter in democratic leadership that he says will hold president trump accountable. >> we are going to get to work. we will fight. we will go out there and take this fight to donald trump and the republicans that we will fight for working people again in this party. >> a majority of the dnc voting members on the first ballot on saturday. he had 100 votes more than its closest competitor the head of the party in wisconsin. despite the fact that he saw a late surge of support from top democrats like nancy pelosi,
10:20 am
chuck schumer and house minority leader jeffries. the dnc chair is often overshadowed by the party leaders. democrats may not look to martin , but he will be crucial in making sure that the parties message resonates with voters in that state parties have the funding and infrastructure that they need to win. he also says he wants to start a 2024 postelection review process he says the party is not dead. this comes as a new poll shows that democrats are underwater with voters. 31% of voters have a favorable opinion of the democratic party while 57% have an unfavorable opinion. that is the highest since quinnipiac began asking this question in november 2008. >> madeleine rivera live force in washington. thank you. >> for more on the dnc let's bring in today's political panel
10:21 am
founder and president jesse and democrat analysts. thank you for being here. the democrat party unfavorable numbers 57%, the lowest ever. after really democratic voters are deflated after the decisive election loss in november. now, we are seeing an emboldened trump. is this the right person to turn things around? >> rnc chair, their job is to raise money. they have to raise a lot of money and support candidates that come in. cannot really setting policy or picking candidates. messaging is also important. president trump knows how to form and execute message. i read a tweet a couple days ago from the dnc democrats and it said, you know, trump is
10:22 am
favoring the rich. this is not the party of reagan romney or mccain. the working class has shifted towards trump. if we want to get the working class back we have to address the issues they care about. >> we just heard ken martin and the acceptance victory speech. martin was saying we will fight for working class americans. that is what was missing in the last election, jesse. not only was the messaging missing, donald trump is a mcdonald's, donald trump is in the dump truck. those are working-class americans. >> declaring that the party is not affected, clearly there is a problem. it is a messaging problem for them. dnc chair will be leading the party building apparatus and trying to reinvigorate some of the basic grassroots. their biggest challenge is a
10:23 am
messaging problem. part of the issue they will have is they are trying to massage what they want to stand for from an economic perspective. working-class voters are not necessarily interested in listening to that if they cannot get past the cultural message. democrats have yet to confront that problem. >> you have prompted me and i apologize in advance to our viewers. as a political nerd i pay attention to these things. i am watching the outgoing dnc chair overseeing the elections and they are electing some device deputy people and the balance of boys and girls elect did, according to what people voted for was not matching. they caught my attention. watch. >> our rules specify that when we have a gender non-binary candidate or officer, the non- binary individual is counted
10:24 am
neither male or female in the remaining six officers must be gender balanced. with the results of the previous elections, our elected officers at this point are currently two male and two female. gender balanced, we must add one male, one female and one person of any gender. >> if that part of what is wrong -- first of all, we should respect anyone's sexual or gender preferences. that is beside the point. people should be treated fairly under the protection of the law. having said that, this is nonsense. more votes, but because they are not from a particular gender they cannot be part of the leadership. this is exactly the same stuff that trump is capitalizing on. the exact same stuff that republican party used in its messaging. sometimes a party goes a little far to the left.
10:25 am
the party did a great job rectifying the rights and getting the rights of millions of lgbtq voters and citizens. on the other hand, when it only affects the rights of a handful of people in one district in california or a handful of people one district in florida, they go so out to the far left that we lose the mainstream. there we lose an election and the rights of those millions and millions of people gets trumped by trump. >> they self-correct and get back to priorities. priority number one is that pocketbook. their heights -- hearts and mind follow. with this tariff development, this tariff battle, you are seeing a lot of critics to include the wall street journal just absolutely eviscerating president trump for this. if prices do increase in start to hurt americans, it could be a problem. senator lindsey graham had this to say about the tariff threat. >> i am glad we are putting
10:26 am
everyone on notice. the old way of doing business is over. there has been a 60% drop in illegal crossings in 10 days. these tariffs i think are designed to bring about change. if the change comes i think the tariffs probably go away. >> i played that for you because there is a stopping fentanyl, getting mexico and canada to help at the border. if it hurts prices, americans feel pain at the grocery store, the car dealership, when they are buying fruits and vegetables , will that be a losing strategy for trump? >> trump talked about this on the campaign trail. he uses tariffs as a way to negotiate, as a way to extract something from someone who is what he views of taking advantage of them from an economic perspective. he wants something. he wants to focus on curtailing
10:27 am
a number of illegal drugs that come across both borders. illegal immigration crisis sowing that as well. he is looking at it as if these countries are far more dependent as a percentage of their gdp on exports than we are. so, we have the ability to kind of massage that a little bit. it depends on how long this goes on. that was the biggest motivating factor for a lot of voters who swung trump's way from 2020-2024 what is the end result? i think it is tbd. it will be on the other countries and how they respond. >> i will give you the last 10 seconds. if this divides, drives a wedge amongst republicans and conservatives, is this an opportunity for democrats? >> outta call balls and strikes as fair as i can. tariffs, china, mexico and canada give good bad and ugly. let's go after them.
10:28 am
we have to be our presence. mexico, we have to do something about the border crisis. one of the cultural issues, legal immigration, that is a huge bow. canada, those boys died on the beaches of normandie. those boys have been there in korea. this is our closest ally. we sell more cars to canada than any other country. going after canada putting in import tariff will not do us. >> short-term ideological satisfactions do not outweigh the long-term sort of negative consequences. >> we will see where it goes. great political panel. thank you for being here. >> new details emerging from the fatal plane crash in washington on wednesday. what we are learning coming up next.

10:33 am
main warning system that had been down since last night. they says we are learning more about the final seconds before the fatal crash over the potomac river wednesday night that killed 67 people. grady trimble live from reagan national airport with more now. hey, grady. >> hey, griff. around 1800 delays across the country. many of them likely a result of that system outage. notice to air mission is what pilots used to download preflight briefings and communicate safety info like runway hazards as well as flying conditions. it was down for around 12 hours from 11:00 o'clock last night until 11:00 o'clock this morning very similar to an outage back in 2023 that led to a nationwide ground stop for a very brief period of time. only this time around one key difference. >> this time, though, they were ready. they had a third party bringing
10:34 am
information live into the system to supplement and to make up for the outage until they fixed it. >> today, families that lost loved ones in that class wednesday night came to the airport for what we believe is the first time since wednesday night. they attended a private memorial on the other side of the runway from here alongside the potomac. a lot of questions about whether and why that helicopter was flying too high and whether staffing levels in the air traffic control tower were too low. the ntsb said there were five working at the time of the crash , only one of them was communicating with planes and helicopters in the air. the black box from the plane the most accurate measure of altitude shows that the plane was around 325 feet at the moment of impact but preliminary data indicates that the control tower saw the helicopter at
10:35 am
right around the same time at about 200 feet. so the ntsb is looking into that discrepancy, but as of right now cannot explain it. the agency also says the flight data recorder shows the plane tried to pull up just before the collision. >> the crew had a verbal reaction and fdr data showed the airplane beginning to increase its pitch. sounds of impact were audible about one second later followed by the end of the recording. >> transportation secretary sean duffy said he and his department are working on a plan to fix those staffing shortages and air traffic control towers across the country. he reiterates today, griff, that it is still safe to fly in this country. >> live force at reagan national airport, thank you.
10:36 am
>> just in the last couple of days we are joined now by our retired blackhawk helicopter pilot. colonel, thank you for taking time. you just heard grady's report there. talking obviously about a number of things, of course the faa system back up now. certainly concerning on the heels of these two tragic crashes. as you look at the investigation they are in washington, grady was talking about this sort of discrepancy between this see jr plane being at 300, 325 feet and the black hawk lower. what does that tell you? >> thank you for having me on. one of the things that sticks out to me in that particular conversation is the fact that they are looking into the why. there was a potential discrepancy in altitude readouts between the commercial airliner and the helicopter. that is critical for people to
10:37 am
understand. when you are doing these investigations, i've been involved in far too many of them on the army aviation side. you are putting together a 500 piece puzzle trying to create a picture from as many inputs as you possibly can to make sure that what you are concluding is the best conclusion you can come to with the evidence available. it will take some time. visual evidence seems to make it fairly clear that they were both sharing in altitude, the question is which altitude was that and why was each eventually there. >> when you mention it will take time, when i was reporting on thursday and friday talking with ntsb member who has been very transparent in trying to get answers for the media, he said, i said, you know, what really is important for the messaging from ntsb. he said asking the public for patients. why does that matter?
10:38 am
>> patient's matters because not only is it the right thing to do for the family because you do not want to have them miss important because they are the most impacted, but the second thing is the results can drive policy and procedures and decisions across many layers of government and private industry. when you do that, you have to make sure that you have it right so far i've been very impressed with his briefings and the way he is running this investigation on the ground. i think he has the exact right guy to do this. the patient is all about the downstream effects of the decisions, the knowledge and the information that we glean from this. it does take time to get there make sure we get it right. todd also said that they would bring information out that would require an immediate change if the immediate change was needed. we are watching to see if any of that comes through as well. >> just in the last 30 seconds i've got, a blackhawk pilot,
10:39 am
your thoughts about whether or not there may have been frequency mismatches with the encrypted version the military uses and then the more public version that people have heard. >> i will tell you, in that particular model of aircraft there is a capability of a radio you can talk to a tower or -- they publish both the quincy by the way to all aviation regardless whether it is military or private. vhf is the predominant. talk on one in here on the other the tower could hear both, aircraft could hear both the question is as they put back together what was set on which radio, which frequency and who did or did not hear something that was critical to what happened. >> an important point in detail that we in fact need.
